Overview | PM2 Plus Documentation


Welcome to the PM2 Plus documentation

Once you go serious about production, you need to make sure that your application is running properly, without bugs, without performance issues and without downtimes.

That’s why we created PM2 Plus. It’s a set of features for both hardening your current PM2 Runtime Process manager and monitoring applications in production.

With PM2 Plus you get:

  • A Real-time Monitoring Web Interface
  • Issues & Exception Tracking
  • Deployment reporting
  • Realtime logs
  • Email & Slack notifications
  • Custom Metrics Monitoring
  • Custom Actions Center

To start testing, you can either go to app.pm2.io or use the pm2 cli (pm2 above 3.2.7):

issue dashboard

PM2 Plus reports the list of all errors in the “Issue Dashboard” occurred in your Node.js and gets you notified.

Stop spending time finding bugs or trying to replay them, we provide you an “Issue Dashboard” with everything in one place, to make debugging easier. Drill down in your code and get the answer.

Checkout the Issue Dashboard

Custom Actions

remote action

PM2 Plus makes possible to enhance custom functions in the source code of your application.

For example, you can assign values to your application variables or just switch it to maintenance mode. In other words you can expose triggerable functions in your code.

You will to use the the @pm2/io module comes along with PM2. It is the PM2 part responsible for gathering the metrics, reporting exceptions, exposing remote actions and every outside interaction with your application.

See how to use custom actions

Realtime logs

remote action

PM2 Plus allows you to see the logs of all of your applications managed by pm2 in one place in the cloud. No need to ssh into your servers and use pm2 logs anymore, everything is on the web interface.
